Nyx - The tamer of Men and Gods Picture

Goddess of night, one of the ancient Protogenoi. She is a very powerful goddess insomuch that Zeus had fear and respect for her. She knew the secret of immortality from the gods. This is really interesting for fans of Percy Jackson and Greek Mythology. Zeus has always been seen as a powerful Greek god who feared no one, but he feared someone.

Nyx is a goddess as powerful as ancient; a primordial. Daughter of Khaos, the goddess (or god) of air. Nyx was sister of Erebus (the darkness), and his wife. She had the power of the destiny of men and gods in your hands: so that one of their children was the Fate (the destiny). Were also her children: the Fates (some said they were daughters of Moros, the Fate), death, sleep, old age, madness, violent deaths, forgetfulness, misery, discord, pride, and hope, friendship, mercy, among others. With Erebus she had Aither (the light), and Hemera (the day). Is interesting to note that the light Aither was the very essence of the Greek gods, he was the air they breathed. Thus, Nyx was the mother of the very essence of the gods.

She was also invoked in ritual magic by witches and sorcerers of ancient Greece. And, they said, she had the power to fertilize the soil for magical herbs sprout. Thus, it was called the patroness of magic (or mother).

They also attributed to him the beauty and terror of the night. She presented both sides of the night: beautiful and terrifying. As far as I could interpret it was the goddess that generated the evils and then the hope. So, the mortals in the darkness had a light to guide them: as the moon and stars at night.

To complete: Nyx was a powerful goddess, but rather be indifferent to events between gods and mortals. Rarely interfered. One of the few times he acted, was in favor of the Olympian gods, Erebus when he tried to free the Titans from Tartarus when he was surprised by Zeus and Hades. Nyx helped the two younger gods to defeat Erebus and imprisoned her husband (and brother) in the river Acheron. Was Nix who withdrew immortality of Cronus when Zeus and his brothers fought against the Titans. Nyx also Helios hid among his children when the other Titans wanted to kill him. When Zeus raged at Hypnos because of a favor he did to Hera, the god of sleep ran to her mother, who protected him from the wrath of Zeus who refrained before the powerful goddess. And finally, Nyx had prophetic gifts, and it was she who created the weapon that Gaia gave Cronus to dethrone Uranus.

Well This drawing is actually an attempt to characterize it. I did not want something so simple. Here she is in her beautiful appearance. She also has a terrifying aspect that I have not worked. I'll still try to create a better design for Nyx. Something wrong? so, sorry. And, She is a OC.
